Madeline Alice Spohr
Heather and Mike Spohr’s daughter Madeline Alice died yesterday, April 7, 2009.
If the sheer power of twitter and internet could heal broken hearts and bring Maddie back, she would be here as strong as Wonder Woman.
From Serenity Now Sunday – March 29, 2009
The words communion, commune, community all come from the same root. We are members of a community. (Whether we like it or not, sometimes.) If we RE-peat, RE-run or RE-do, we do something again. When we RE-member someone, we are, in a way, being with them again. Even the Big JC talked about it “Do this for the remembrance of me” (BCP, p. 362) Re-Member.
This morning, take a moment with me to remember . . . no matter how much time we had with the people we loved, they were important, they are important. They matter.
And so do we.
The serenity here is that we can all be together in this. Never alone. There is nothing we have to face without the hand of a friendly companion here in the 704.
We all matter here.”
Please Give.

The community that reaches out is so impressive. I wish it was real arms we could wrap around them, though.

I cannot breathe. This hit me to the core. Heather is a dear friend of mine. I am so proud to be a part of this loving community.

This is heart breaking. I do hope that Heather & Mike can find some comfort and peace in this tragedy knowing so many people are thinking of them. Nothing could ever fill sweet Maddie’s place, but I hope their friends (even those they’ve never met) can help to ease the pain.
